Tumblr released its annual year-end review and, no big surprise, Benedict Cumberbatch scored the top spot as the most reblogged actor. But, No. 2,Tom Hiddleston, deserves just as much love as his fellow Brit. Here's why.

4. He's the happiest villain you'll ever meet

Fortunately for him, Hiddleston's an incredibly nuanced actor who deftly slips from his trademark cheerful self into the solemnity of villainhood quite easily. Because, seriously, would you be scared of this face?

5. Even Chris Hemsworth finds him irresistible

Hollywood has known its fair share of bromances: Ben and Matt, Brad and George, Blake and Adam. But, in our hearts, Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth will go down in history as the cutest expat bromance ever.

8. But, really, just listen to him

In all seriousness, though, Hiddleston is fiercely intelligent and it comes through in every articulated syllable that comes out of his mouth. He's both eloquent and relatable and, yeah, we could listen to him all. Day. Long.

9. He's even cuter than Cookie Monster

It's hard to compete with the Cookie Monster. After all, he's endeared himself to the hearts of the American public for decades. But, just when you thought nothing could get sweeter than that fuzzy blue sugar monster and warm chocolate chip cookies, here comes Hiddleston.

Check the man's Twitter and you'll quickly get confirmation that he is always encouraging fans to support some charitable organization or to pay it forward. The fact that he does so here in a white T-shirt is just icing on the philanthropic beefcake.

19. He holds his own next to Cumberbatch

We're not saying Benedict Cumberbatch isn't sexy — he most certainly is. That's a given, right? What we are saying is Hiddleston deserves just as much love as his fellow Brit because, let's face it, he sure holds his own next to Cumberbatch. Some may say he even outshines him.
